Secure Mobile Information Management System and Method

1. A system of managing information for one or more users, each user having a mobile phone operating on a mobile phone network, the system comprising: at least one first software module operating on at least one server; and at least one second software module configured to run as an application on a mobile device of at least one user; wherein a copy of the second software module has been downloaded to a first mobile device via a mobile phone network and is configured to communicate securely with a second mobile device through the first software module; wherein the first software module includes programming instructions to determine if the second mobile device has a copy of the second software module; and wherein the second software module includes programming instructions to: receive at the first mobile device an incoming communication from the second mobile device via at least one of a mobile phone network and the Internet, wherein the incoming communication includes encrypted information; send from the first mobile device an outgoing communication to the second mobile device via at least one of the mobile phone network and the Internet, wherein the outgoing communication includes encrypted information; and make the encrypted information accessible to the user on the first mobile device.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the incoming communication and the outgoing communication is a short message service (SMS) communication.

3. A method of managing information for a plurality of users using the Internet and mobile devices of the users, the method comprising: providing a first software module for operating on at least one server; upon instruction by a user of a mobile device, downloading a copy of a second software module to the mobile device through a mobile phone network, wherein the second software module is configured to receive information from the first software module through at least one of the Internet and the mobile phone network; and transmitting information to the mobile device through the mobile phone network for storage on the mobile device using the second software module on the mobile device so that the information may later be accessed by the user even when the mobile device is not connected to a mobile phone network; wherein the second software module includes instructions to: allow the user to select at least a portion of the information that is stored on the mobile device, select another mobile device to send the portion of the information, and send the portion of the information to the other mobile device; and wherein the first software module includes instructions to: evaluate whether the other mobile device includes a second copy of the second software module, and if the other mobile device includes a second copy of the second software module, send the portion of the information to the second copy of the second software module on the other mobile device through the mobile phone network.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the information transmitted to the mobile device is transmitted via a short message service (SMS) communication.

5. The method of claim 3 wherein the portion of the information sent to the other mobile device is sent via a short message service (SMS) communication.

6. The method of claim 3 wherein the second software module is configured to encrypt and send information to the other mobile device via at least one of the mobile phone network and the Internet.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the first software module is configured to receive the encrypted information from the second software module.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the first software module is configured to: decrypt the encrypted information received from the second software module; re-encrypt the decrypted information; and send the re-encrypted information to the other mobile device.

9. The method of claim 3 wherein the second software module is configured to receive an incoming communication from the other mobile device via at least one of a mobile phone network and the Internet, wherein the incoming communication includes encrypted information.
